Is my schedule for junior year too rigorous?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

My schedule currently consists of 3 AP courses

  • AP Bio
  • AP Calculus AB
  • AP World History

I was wondering if this will be too demanding, considering the fact that I’ll need to study for the SAT and balance 3 AP classes. I heard that AP Bio is one of the most challenging APs. I also don’t have a strong foundation in math but AP Calc was the only math class I could take after Precalc. The only class I can drop is AP World History but I wanted to hear some of your opinions - do you think this is manageable?

Thank you and I apologize for any grammar mistakes.

I think this is manageable, if you manage your time well and don’t miss school.

I think this is managable…I assume your GC thinks it is ok based on how well you did in previous courses.

Are you taking only three classes or did you just list the APs?

@bopper Honestly, I think the guidance counselor doesn’t care what courses I take. I’m in a special program at my school and AP bio is a mandatory course, regardless of your past grades in previous courses. My school doesn’t offer normal calculus and even though many of my classmates don’t even know how to factor, they still get placed in AP Calc lol.

@halcyonheather I have eight classes total along with the 3 APs. I’m taking SAT Prep, Forensics Lab, English 11 Honors, Chinese 3, and Physics. The only class I’m worried about other than my APs is Physics because it’s known as the GPA killer course at my school.
